Thank you officers for shouldering this heartbreaking tragedy. That poor baby deserves justice. When you find the ones responsible I say we burn them at the stake. Cause only a monster can do a crime like that.

Lord please help law enforcement to find out who this precious child is and what happened to him. Lord bless this precious child

[maddieadams]

This little man could be from anywhere, finding him deceased in a suitcase. Please keep this in the news daily. 🙏 ♥️

Why is he referring to a baby as a "young man?" This is a child.

This is so awful so tragic. Someone hasn't yet turned in a missing child?? One day these people will be in front of the lord and justice will happen 🙏

You mean to tell me that there is no Mother asking about her missing son? If they find her and she's alive I would look at her first because any Mother worth her salt would be loosing her mind about her child. Bless his heart when I first heard this cried.

How dreadful to find a child dead in the woods, who would do this?

[JusticeLuvr]

I hope the person or persons who have been caring for this child are alive to come forward. Praying.

God take that baby into your living arms. My first suspicion is he's missing from foster care. We have a big problem in this country with foster care systems not doing the right thing.

Can you do a familial DNA match through 23 and me or one of the other DNA sites? It might give cousins or some relative within the first or second generation.

Maybe if you guys believed survivors, there'd not be so many predators.

This world is EVIL
Indiana has a horrible record of ignoring predators
